Subject: [PATCH] Disable IPv6 on virtual networks

If the bridge device is configured to have IPv6 address and
accept router advertisments, then a malicious guest can send
out bogus advertisments and hijack/DOS host IPv6 connectivity

* src/network_driver.c: Set accept_ra=0, disable_ipv6=1, autoconf=0
  for IPv6 sysctl on virual network bridge devices
